Its showroom in Belgium, where the Spanish firm’s latest collections are displayed.
Last March, contemporary furniture firm Sancal opened La Nave, a showroom in the shop of Sancal’s agent Alovan International in Belgium. Here opinion formers and distributors can see and admire the Spanish company’s latest collections.
La Nave adheres to the same simple, understated aesthetic as that of Sancal’s showroom El Garage in Madrid, which opened in 2013. La Nave’s interior has exposed brick walls which are combined with subtle accents of fluorescent green and Sancal’s upholstered pieces in the brand’s signature colours.
The word ‘Nave’ was chosen because it relates well to the space — a transparent design which can be used as a warehouse or factory, and brings to mind a sailing boat and church’s nave. These associations are apt, given the location: for over a century, this building housed an old yarn factory. By changing its use, Sancal aims to renovate this space which it’s owned for 20 years in Belgium and transform it into a destination shop for contemporary design fans.
